GABRIEL SANCHEZ [email protected]

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the future of our nation was one that em- braced people from every race, religion, creed, and color. The good pastor worked alongside the bravest of his generation to bring equality for African Americans through the 1960s Civil Rights movement. His dream was one of unity and brotherhood in a nation that had long needed to heal from the ugly scars of a post-slavery world. On. Jan. 16, the world remembered his message of love and reflected on how far we’ve all come in helping make his dream a reality. The Weekly asked locals…

What do you believe was the most important thing Dr. King taught us?

“That we need to stick together; we’re all together in this,” said Christa Boilini of Doc’s Diner in Key Largo.

“To respect each other. This day itself should be a wonderful day for every- one to embrace each other and recog- nize its significance,” saidDamascus Beaufort, of Kmart.

“To respect each other regardless of race, sex, creed, and orientation. Also, to protest peacefully for the things we believe in, like we recently saw with the protesters at Standing Rock,” said Jesus Landeros of Radio Shack.

“That we’re all different but also the same. He taught us to take all the differences and embrace them knowing that God made us different for a reason, and to find the good in everyone,” said Sheldon Jag- gernauth, also of Kmart. 4 THIS WEEKEND UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JANUARY 20, 2017
